The 10:42 a.m. fire at the Creekwalk Apartments, 60 North St., was originally reported as minor. But once firefighters responded, they said the fire was worse than originally thought. The blaze started in Apt. 4.

Minutes later, fire crews believed things were under control and asked assisting departments to remain at their stations.Then firefighters inside the building discovered the fire had extended into an adjoining apartment.

More firefighters were called to the scene. There was still smoke coming from the building as of about 11:15 a.m.

Staff writer Sistina Giordano is at the scene. Check back to Syracuse.com for more details as they become available.
